Not Funny
This fire/fire extinguisher thing is killing my sense of humor. If you’re on social media at all, you’ve probably seen the videos of people dumping buckets of ice water on themselves as part of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) ice … Continue reading
So Many Fires

Charlotte Cooper’s Galt Cave
When I finally get fed up with the misogyny and misandry and general divisiveness that’s taking over the world, and every day, that moment creeps ever closer, I’m going to build my own version of Galt’s Gulch (I call it … Continue reading
Battle of the Sexes: I’m Furious
